Two of my bois now gone beyond - Flank-Tanker and Aubrey. The Tank was my heart cat - although I do love the Ancient Warlord.

Take care and rest up x

Deleted post was a very similar shade by Barry M but that's not what you asked for...

Ancient Warlord is sending healing purrs. This sounds very Beatrix Potter. Is scientifically true (is why cats purr when they're in pain) Take the dribbly wet purrs, pupper!

Let's keep fingers, toes, and paws crossed.

Sam (am assuming Samuel not Samantha)'s "brother from another mother" salutes him.
The Ancient Warlord blinks, slowly, and plots revenge upon the perpetrators....

Chatting to a lovely someone on Substack about my D&D scribbles. Am now committed to a regular Friday night sketch.

Can't help reading this as the cat's voice, the Ancient Warlord would literally say this....

I like any D&D app that rolls for me.
I'm partially sighted and honest to god it gets old having my lovely crew lean over and say "that's a D12, not a D20" and "that's a 9, not a 6"

As part of our theme #OutintheField, we’re sharing recent discoveries made by National Trust archaeologists and partners alongside current fieldwork.

Did you know that the Sefton Coast at Formby in Lancashire contains tantalising glimpses into the lives of our hunter-gather ancestors? 🧵

@minorfracas.bsky.social how is doggo feeling? Think she has a street team here thinking about her...

Yep. That assumption that "anyone can do it!"

cover for On Demon Wrangling and Interpersonal Relationships Between Weary Immortals by Rebecca Crunden; purple background with a cat and flowers.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others.

Heh, you're complaining, I was up till midnight last night with mine telling me about Matthias Corvinus & the Black Army. We ended up getting his Tudor arming jack out from under the bed and belting it with shoes to see how sturdy it was (reader: I did a good job)

@historianinharness.bsky.social am probably unrecognisable these days but Wardlaws' Kit, as was.
If you have spare minute my 15 y/old lad would like to fanboy a bit over your armour and pick your brains about 14thc. wargaming and armour.
Yrs shamelessly...

Ah, poor old girl. In and out of vet's is hard on an old lady's dignity as well as the family purse :-(

That should be a good thing - give her little body time to rest up, hopefully. Keep fighting the good fight, doggo! (And give her a gentle ear rumple from us.)

Go for it, young folks. Seize this opportunity.
Also, if you do seize it, look after your joints. Archaeology is hard on the bones in more than one way.

How are they feeling now? (We have Senior Gentlecat aka the Ancient Warlord so I feel the fear for you....)

Oh no, hope doggo is feeling better soon.

The words "everyone's got a book in them" spring to mind.... I think storytelling is often overlooked as a craft, because it *looks* effortless, physically. #SpoonieAuthorChat

It's still very early in the rough draft for #Infernulls The City of Lights. So forgive any errors, and this might not be in the final cut (It will be if I have anything to say about it.)

Mechanical Heart book cover: grey and red binary code forming a heart. A science fiction romance.

Well, I had a lovely afternoon yesterday with my author friend who is not on here and as part of our "how the hell do we get people to read this stuff?" chat she's gonna come join us and talk nonsense. Where do the peeps who write #romantasy hang out?

Ehhhh I been darkside since the Sisters of Mercy had hair and today I am wearing a blue dress with dinosaurs on, quite unironically. I am my D&D group's Fairy Gothmother and I say - go forth and slay (possibly literally, I don't judge) in what comforts your dark heart.

Well, I bit the bullet and started to serialise my novella on Substack. tammasinbiscuit.substack.com/p/the-book-d... This is a total departure from my successful histfic authoring so am building a completely new audience from nowt. #SpoonieAuthChat #NorthernLit
